“I myself was disappointed when the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index 2018 was announced at the end of January this year that Malaysia had gone up by only one place to 61 out of 180 countries, maintaining the score of 47 points in the corruption index just like in the previous year, although the former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and several prominent personalities including former Cabinet ministers had been charged for corruption last year.
“Although I expect the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index for next year to show a great improvement in both ranking and score,” he said and reminded Malaysians not to regard the war against corruption as a “mission accomplished”.
